Hi All,
I just did a massive YUM update of CentOS 4.3 (same as Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, only cheaper) to the tune of 497 Meg..
Question: is YUM smart enough to up and down services after it
updates them, or do I need to reboot?
Yum doesn't need to care about it, rpm runs the scripts contained
in the rpm packages which usually restart services. However, if
the update contained a kernel you need to reboot anyway to get it
running. Look in /var/log/yum.log if unsure.
Yum just automates updates and clears up dependencies, besides
being able to do installs/removes and fancy stuff like group
installs. It's is a great tool, but not your package manager, try
'man rpm', especially the "query-options" should be interesting
for you.
Good luck
